In a dark room located somewhere in the city of London, a man in his early 40's had a silver firefly shaped brooch in his hand. In front of him, a small light brown creature with a large head, small body, translucent wings on it's back and it had a slight glow to it in the dark.
"Miraculous are magical jewels that with the help of their Kwami allow the user to transform into an animal-themed superhero. Mine is the firefly miraculous which has the power of imagination."
"I take it there are more of these Miraculous around?" The man asked.
"Yes, but they haven't been seen in a very long time. No one knows where they are"
"I found you tho, Tess," The man said, "What powers does your miraculous offer?"
"The firefly miraculous represents imagination and gives the user the ability to bring things that people imagine to life using the fireflies that appear when you transform. You can sense the person's thoughts at a distance as well."
"And when it comes to finding superheroes and gaining the knowledge of the universe what's better than using people who imagine things that have the potential to cause trouble," The man said.
"Sir, the miraculous are not supposed to be used for evil purposes. Also, the Wolf and the owl haven't been seen or heard of for over 100 years." Tess said. "Please don't do this"
"I found your Miraculous, which means you are now under my control Tess. You will obey me" The man said.
"Yes Sir," Tess said. The Kwami had no choice but to obey.
"Tess, glow on," The man said as the Kwami got sucked into the Miraculous.
"I shall be known as Firefly," The man said. Firefly had a mostly brown coloured suit and a dinner jacket. On the back of the jacket two pieces of fabric resembled wings. His mask covered most of his face. His weapon was a wand.
Firefly stepped back into the darkness.
An elderly man in his 80s slept peacefully in his bedroom. The man was known as Mr Lu and he's a well-known seller of herbal tea, most of the people that came into the shop have been for many years. Mr Lu inherited the business from his grandfather. As the sun started to climb over the horizon, Mr Lu felt something tap him on the shoulder.
"Jin, wake up"
"Josh is that you?" Mr Lu asked "Is it opening time already"
"Josh isn't here yet."
"Oh, Flynn it's you," Mr Lu said after he put his glasses on.
Flynn landed on Jin's hand. The Kwami resembled a robin and had a mostly brown body with a bright red middle.
"It's time sir. We need to find a holder for the Owl Miraculous" Flynn said. "The firefly has awakened."
"But granddad said it has been lost for five hundred years," Jin said.
" It thought it had been lost as well. He said that about the Wolf but we have both seen Rikki and his chosen from a distance," Flynn said. "The Wolf can't fight this on her own. He or she is going to need some help"
"Your right Flynn," Jin said. "We are going to need some help. I can't fight this battle alone anymore"
The summer holidays flew by and now it was the beginning of September. It was time for Felicity's first day at Maple Park School.
Felicity felt a little bit nervous but it was nowhere near as bad as she felt in Paris. Over the past few weeks, Felicity spent time with Mia and got to know some of the people that would be in her class. Most of the people in the class seemed nice, there was a couple of teenagers who reminded Felicity of Chloe and Sabrina but she knew that every school had students like that.
Felicity's alarm clock went off at half seven and the fifteen-year-old girl got out of bed.
"It's so early," A sleepy voice said. Felicity looked at her Kwami
"You can stay here all day if you want to. There's no supervillain in London and I will be at school all day," Felicity said.
"That sounds ok," Rikki said.
"Felicity, breakfast is ready" Her Mum called.
Felicity went downstairs. The kitchen was crowded, four spaces were set up at the table. Felicity's cousins Jackie and Felix are already dressed in their school uniforms. Jackie wore a blue gingham dress, a blue cardigan, white ankle socks with little blue bows on them and a pair of plain black school shoes. Felix wore a pair of grey shorts, a white polo top, blue jumper, grey socks and a pair of black school shoes.
"You can't wear that to school, I left your new school uniform on a hanger in your cupboard," Felicity's Mum said as she noticed that Felicity had a pair of blue skinny jeans and a white top with a pink love heart in the middle on.
"Great. I forgot how much I hate wearing school uniform" Felicity sighed as she took a piece of toast from the plate on the table.
Wearing a school uniform was going to take some time to get used to again. Another hard part of Felicity returning to London was that she was going to be in Year 11, which meant she would have a lot of catching up to do if she wanted to do well in GCSEs.
Felicity entered her room and took out her new school uniform. Her uniform consisted of a navy blue pleated skirt, white long sleeve shirt, navy blue cardigan and a navy blue blazer with the school logo on the front pocket. She also wore a pair of white knee-length socks and black pumps. Her school bag was a pink Superdry rucksack.
"What happened to the jeans and top," Rikki asked as he noticed that his holder had changed clothes.
"I'm not allowed to wear my own clothes. I have to wear a school uniform. Everyone that goes to my new school wears it" Felicity said as she grabbed her rucksack, said goodbye to her Kwami and left the room.
Maple Park Secondary School
Felicity arrived at Maple Park School. The school was much bigger than College Francoise Dupont.
Felicity walked through a set of large wooden doors and found herself standing in a hallway with cream walls and a large image of the school logo, painted onto the middle of the wall. A sign with the words reception could also be seen. The reception area was just a big window, the actual office sat behind the window and there was another door the lead to a seating area.
The school seemed welcoming, Felicity waited at the window until one of the office staff came to see her.
"Hi, Can I help you?" The lady asked.
"I'm Felicity West. It's my first day here, I'm not sure where I'm supposed to go" Felicity said.
"Ah, yes. You will be in Mr Longs form class. It's in room D6."
The lady said as another boy arrived behind them. The boy appeared to be the same age as Felicity and he had curly brown short hair, brown eyes and dimples. Felicity moved out the way so the boy could get to the window. He handed in a form and was about to walk away when the lady in the office called him
"Robbie, could you take one of our new students to D6 please" The lady asked.
"Sure, It's on the way to my class," Robbie said.
Felicity followed Robbie down the hallway and through a set of double doors that lead to an outside area. There were three other buildings around them. Robbie walked into the first building which had a big letter D outside. He held the door open for Felicity and showed her where her form class was.
When Felicity entered the classroom, everyone turned around and looked at her, there must have been about 30 pairs of eyes looking at her. Felicity wondered if Mia had told them about her.
At the front of the classroom, the teacher was getting ready to start the lesson.
"Ok, 11G, we have a new student joining us today. Would you like to introduce yourself" Mr Long said.
"Hi, I'm Felicity. I moved back to London a few weeks ago after spending a year in Paris. I hope that I will make some friends here" Felicity said. A few hands went up after Felicity finished talking.
"Mia told me about you. Is it true that you meet real-life superheroes in Paris?" The girl asked.
"Yeah, I have. Ladybug, Chat Noir and Wolfette" Felicity said. It felt strange talking about her alter ego in front of other people but they didn't know that the real Wolfette was in the same class as them.
"Ok, class, I know that this is exciting but we need to get started. I'm sure that Felicity will answer questions in your free time" Mr Long told them.
Felicity first lesson was English, she walked to the classroom with Mia and Sophie, she felt glad that her classmates were put into different sets and when she walked into the classroom, she only recognized ten students. At least they wouldn't keep asking her about Ladybug, Chat Noir and Wolfette.
Felicity sat in a seat at the back of the classroom as it was the only seat available. A few people turned around and looked at her. Felicity didn't recognise them and figured that they must be from the other form class.
Felicity heard a chair scrape next to her. She looked over at the person next to her. It was the boy from the office, Robbie.
"Hi, I guess we are partners for this year," Robbie said. "I'm Robbie Milton. If you need any help then just ask"
"Looks like it," Felicity replied as the teacher started the lesson. They found out that they would be working on a book called "An Inspector Cause' by JB Priestley. (Note: An Inspector Cause is a real example of GCSE English Literature Text that studied by students in England)
After a long morning of lessons, Felicity walked to lunch. The students spent their lunchtime in the school canteen or their form rooms.
"Felicity, come and sit with us," Mia said.
Felicity went over to the table that Mia sat at. Felicity recognized a few of them from she spent time with Mia during the summer. Sophia, Eliza and Lena.
"What do you think of school so far?" Eliza asked.
"It's ok. Most of the people I've met have been helpful. There is one person that acting a bit too friendly" Felicity said.
"Who's that?" Lena asked.
"Robbie Milton" Felicity replied.
"Oh, he's the son of the headteacher, Mr Milton, " Lena said.
"I guess that makes sense," Felicity said as she put a straw into her carton of apple juice. She also had a pot of pasta from the canteen.
"It must be nice to back in a place where no supervillains are running around," Mia said.
Felicity was about to reply when the ground started shaking. It felt like an earthquake but London didn't really get strong earthquakes. Also, there wasn't much damage to the school building.
"What was that?" Lena asked.
"I'm not sure but I think the school days over. Why don't we go and check it out? I have to get this on my phone." Mia suggested as she hurried out the school entrance. Lena, Sophia and Felicity hurried after her.
"She's going to get herself in trouble"
"Mia, wait" Sophia called.
Outside the school, Felicity got a closer look at what was going on. There was a girl who looked a few years younger than Felicity wearing a pirate outfit. At first, Felicity thought the girl was dressed up but then she noticed that the girl seemed to be taking things very seriously. It was like she turned the city into something that would have been possible in a fairy tale.
"Go home or get to safety, let the police deal with this" Someone said. "I think they are calling the armed forces in"
"Mia, come on let's go home," Felicity said.
"No way. I'm not going to miss this. It's like she's been turned into a supervillain. I have to get this on film. Who knows, London might get it's own superheroes now" Mia said as she ran off.
Felicity's Room
Felicity hurried home and went straight to her room. She needed to do something to take her mind of what's going on outside so she decided to do her reading homework from English class.
"Felicity, we need to talk?" Rikki said as he flew over to her.
"If it's about the strange pirate lady then it's all over BBC and Sky News," Felicity said. "The police will deal with it,"
"I'm not sure if they can," Rikki said as he pulled the journal Felicity got from the antique shop in Paris out from a pile of books, causing them to fall down. He then turned to a page that he had been looking at when Felicity was with her family. While Felicity picked the books up and put them back into a pile, Rikki flicked through the journal.
"I thought that we read the journal in Paris. As far as I can remember there is nothing about teenage girls being turned into parties" Felicity said.
"That's because you missed some bits. It's also a part of history that you didn't really need to know at the time" Rikki said.
"I don't get it. What's going on?" Felicity asked. "Is Mia in danger?"
"This is not the work of a gang or serial killer. This is the work of the firefly miraculous holder and whoever's using it is using it for evil" Rikki told her.
"The Firefly Miraculous, the one the has the power of imagination, meaning what the people are seeing isn't real," Felicity said as she turned back to her reading.
"Not really. The firefly miraculous uses the imagination of other people and brings it to life" Rikki said. "You're the only one who can fix this"
"I can't do it on my own. Just like Ladybug, I need my version of Chat Noir" Felicity said. "Also who's going to clean up the mess"
"You will. The Owl Miraculous holder is usually paired with the Wolf. It's been activated already" Rikki said. "Just remember that you need to touch the firefly with your whip to free the person and then everything will return to normal."
"There's one issue that needs to be sorted. Wolfette suddenly appearing in London is going to cause people to get suspicious" Felicity said. "
"Don't worry about that" Rikki said. "I'm sure you will think of something"
"I guess your right. It's not like the police can do anything about it" Felicity said. "I have to save Mia as well. She's in danger"
"You already know the words," Rikki told his chosen.
" Rikki, Paws Out," Felicity said. Rikki got pulled into the bracelet, turning it silver with five white wolf tails in the middle. There were some changes to the outfit. The fingers and hands of her outfit are now a really dark grey and she had dark grey boots.
"I guess it's time to save London," Felicity said as she jumped out the window, throwing her whip out and catching it around one of the chimneys. She found herself running across the rooftops of London, looking for any signs of the pirate girl.
Everything was going fine and Felicity was getting used to using her powers again until she felt something brush past her almost knocking her off the roof but a pair of hands reached out to stop her. Felicity found herself looking at a boy. The boy resembled an owl and looked exactly like the boy Felicity saw in her dreams after she was given the journal.
This chapter was going to be much longer but I decided that it would be better to break it up and write Tawny Owls part of the story in the next chapter.
